Screen grab from Running on Empty video by Ross Chin. You can watch the video below. The best kind of art makes us see the world differently. Ross Ching created a video of something almost impossible to conceive: Los Angeles without cars. He used time-lapse techniques to capture the movements of clouds, people, traffic lights… But no cars. They were removed in Photoshop by layering enough still images that all parts of the image covered by cars could be replaced by parts from other pics where a car wasn’t in that spot. The video is set to music by Radiohead,… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via NOAA Could restoring damaged reefs be as easy as super gluing corals to new shelves and ledges? Perhaps so, according to research done by Dr. Graham Forrester from the University of Rhode Island, and a team of scientists, students and locals who worked to restore a dead reef in White Bay in the British Virgin Islands. After focusing on a specific variety of elkhorn coral often damaged during storms, they found that after transplanted, corals reattached themselves after three months and after 4 years had become large adult corals.

Photo by invisibleconsequential via flickr. Air quality is not something we tend to complain about – a rain shower or snow flurries can stop cyclists in their tracks, but gradually worsening air doesn’t make our daily talking points. Perhaps it should – we are a bit like frogs in the hot pot, not realizing the danger until we’re dead.
